Babyshower

Hymn Lyrics

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.

Refrain

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need:

Mercy drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

There shall be showers of blessing,

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

Refrain

There shall be showers of blessing;

Send them upon us, O Lord;

Grant to us now a refreshing,

Come, and now honor Thy Word.

Refrain

There shall be showers of blessing:

Oh, that today they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!

Refrain

There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

If we let God have His way.

Refrain

1. O God, our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come,

our shelter from the stormy blast,

and our eternal home.

2. Under the shadow of thy throne,

still may we dwell secure;

sufficient is thine arm alone,

and our defense is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,

or earth received her frame,

from everlasting, thou art God,

to endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages, in thy sight,

are like an evening gone;

short as the watch that ends the night,

before the rising sun.

5. Time, like an ever rolling stream,

bears all who breathe away;

they fly forgotten, as a dream

dies at the opening day.

6. O God, our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come;

be thou our guide while life shall last,

and our eternal home.
